As the Founder and CEO of Kimia Science, I combine technical expertise with business acumen to drive innovation in science and technology. If there’s one thing unique about me, it’s my ability to bridge the gap between complex scientific ideas and real-world market needs. My journey began with groundbreaking research in analytical chemistry, including advanced LC-MS techniques and biopharmaceutical analysis, and evolved into roles where I successfully developed and executed marketing strategies for high-tech solutions. This transition allowed me to apply my deep scientific knowledge to create tangible business impacts. The second quality that defines me is my passion for innovation and entrepreneurship. Whether it’s leading market development efforts, securing competitive business grants like SBIR, or advising startups on scaling their ideas, I thrive at the intersection of science, business, and strategy. MARKET DEVELOPMENT & BUSINESS EXPERTISE I’ve had the privilege of working on diverse projects that integrate cutting-edge science and business innovation, including: • Leading market development efforts for mass spectrometry, Cryo-EM, and immunoassay portfolios. • Driving business growth through strategic partnerships, trade shows, and marketing campaigns. • Applying to SBIR grants to fund innovative AI-driven solutions. • Advising startups on turning ideas into scalable ventures.
